Replit audio help(program pause)

[CoolKid111]

When I play sound using the
audio.play_file()
it pauses the entire program.
the repl link is here: https://replit.com/@CoolKid111/Undertale-style-engine-V04?v=1
the sound is so short that you may not notice it pausing but it does.
Is there a way it could start the sound and keep the program running while the sound plays?

I haven’t used that before, but my guess is that it pauses until the audio is done playing. In this case, you’d probably have to use threads or coroutines.

Here’s an example Python script that runs two functions simultaneously:

from threading import Thread

def func1():
    print("First function")

def func2():
    print("Second function that runs separately from the first, but at the same time as it")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Thread(target = func1).start()
    Thread(target = func2).start()

I will try that, thanks!
